Summary
Erik Kallen is a co-founder and embedded systems engineer with 15 years of experience turning sensor technology concepts into working prototypes and production-ready solutions. He blends hands-on hardware development, embedded software and web application design (Ruby/nodejs) to bridge devices, APIs and system integration—skills honed at companies like INCAS³, Diagnoptics and his startup EVAbits. His work includes R&D for medical sensing (AGE Reader), traffic and industrial sensing, and production process automation, demonstrating an ability to move projects from lab to factory. Comfortable both designing PCBs and shipping backend APIs, he appreciates practical fabrication workflows and spends free time 3D printing and CNC routing the tools he uses. Based in Bedum, Netherlands, he pairs curiosity-driven tinkering with a disciplined engineering approach that accelerates prototyping into deployed products.
